Damn really makes you realize we might be losing Connery soon.

Awww fuck!

"My name is Pussy Galore"

One of the great movie lines

I must be dreaming.

And one of the best replies ever uttered in a movie

reply

An iconic actress (The Avengers, A Night to Remember, Jason and the Argonauts, as well as Goldfinger) and she always seemed like a lovely lady, too - R.I.P.

reply

Very sad, but she lived to a ripe old age and leaves behind a legacy, and relatively few people do both. She left The Avengers to appear in Goldfinger. Dame Diana Rigg took her place on The Avengers as the legendary Mrs. Emma Peele. Rigg subsequently left The Avengers to be The Bond Girl in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

reply

BBC today noted her passing but never mentioned her character name Pussy Galore in the Bond film.

“All the news that’s fit to print”- former New York Times motto

“All the news that fits, we print” - MAD Magazine, circa 1959, and sadly prescient.
